Enormous portions! I could stretch this up to a week's worth of food haha. Brisket was fall-apart tender, very meaty. As were the ribs, though slightly tougher at the ends. Slathered in a generous BBQ sauce. I think BBQ sauce is too sweet and one-note for my liking, but it was decent. I've always wanted to try collard greens and they taste like what I thought they would—albeit this one was way too sweet for my liking and had pulled pork mixed in. The fried brussels sprouts were my favourite. Robust with a lovely crispy charred exterior and tender inside. Quite heavily salted. Originally came with maple syrup but I requested to have it in the side. And the maple syrup was delicious, not too sweet at all and surprisingly brightened up the greasy heaviness of it all. Cornbread was very buttery and rich. The fried chicken sandwich was incredible—deliciously seasoned throughout, the crust was deep-fried to golden-brown perfection and the meat was tender and juicy. Our waitress was very friendly, cheerful and attentive. The place was very loud, especially when there's live music playing so if you're sensitive to overstimulation, I'd suggest bringing something to dampen the noise. Still, it was a warm place with a lively atmosphere.
